It was a challenging night. My laptop's hard drive died and I had to play from an old, broken down computer, and to pray that it doesn't die in turn... It hasn't been synched in ages, but luckily still had a reasonable collection :)

I wrote about Los Provincianos before; in my opinion their valses are under-appreciated. The early 1930s, the Depression years before the D'Arienzo revial, were very difficult for tango, and we must be grateful to the pioneers like Ciriaco Ortiz and his "Los Provincianos" for keeping the flame going!

Roberto Firpo was one of the trailblazers of the Old Guard, composing some of the best tangos of the 1900s and 1910s, and of course shaping La Cumparsita as we know it. Because of the poor quality of tango recording before the late 1920s, we miss most of his hits. At the turn of the Great Depression, Firpo quit tango, as he thought, for good, and his grand Orchestra Tipica never played again. But his retirement plans were short lived, and in a few years Firpo was leading a smaller tango band again - you've just heard a track by his quartet a few tandas before.

Enrique Rodriguez, a great master of remixes, went all the way back to 1870 for this rusty waltz from an American theater play - and made a dynamic vivacious miracle out of it.

"El Adios" was Maruja Pacheco Huergo's first composition, a brilliant spark of a song which started her very bright and very short tango career. To a Russian ear, it brings an unforgettable refrain of the "Gypsy girl", a folk song which I sometimes play as a cortina...
